Print source location in the error message when parens are missing around sizeof typename and the expression is inside macro expansion

[shivanshu3]

Summary

Given the following code:

void Foo(int);

#define Bar(x) Foo(x)

void Baz()
{
	Bar(sizeof int);
}

The error message which is printed today is this:

error: expected parentheses around type name in sizeof expression

There is no source location printed whatsoever, so fixing a compile break like this becomes extremely hard in a large codebase.

My change improves the error message. But it doesn't output a FixItHint because I wasn't able to figure out how to get the locations for left and right parens. So any tips would be appreciated.

<source>:7:6: error: expected parentheses around type name in sizeof expression
        Bar(sizeof int);
            ^

Note that this regression seems to be there ever since Clang 3.4.1

Use getFileLoc instead of getExpansionLoc to get the location of error.

Clang format the test file. Forgot to do it before.

I don't think we should be assuming that getLocForEndOfToken will fail if and only if the token is a macro -- that seems brittle. It would seem better to check whether it actually failed and respond to that directly. Would something like this suggestion work?

Yup, I like that better, thank you for the suggestion!
